On Friday, I gave into temptation and purchased Endless Legend on Steam. It is a 4x fantasy strategy game kind of like Civilization. I am a huge Civ fan, so the comparison made me take notice. There are some pretty big differences between the game, but at their heart they are similar. It was my game of choice over the weekend.

Overall, it is pretty good. I still like Civ 5 better, but it is a decent game. The graphics are quite nice and detailed. The interface is very crisp/sharp, if that makes sense. You really do have all of the information ready and waiting. Of course, the developer did the same for Endless Space. I also own that, but it never grabbed me. I think their combat system was the main reason why I was never hooked to the game.

I sprung for the Founders Pack (extra $10) because it had some added in-game items. In total is cost me $45, so it is definitely not a cheap game. You get what you pay for though. Endless Legend is a polished, quality title. If you like games in the same vein as Civilization you may want to consider purchasing it. This weeks Werit at War will be about the game too if you want to wait and see it in action.
